difference between asyn and after business rule

[Shrutika Surwad]

hi shilpi,

Async business rule is required when something is to be performed in backend for updating some other table data etc and user need not know about that.

After business rule is used when some fields needs to be updated and displayed to the user immediately after user saves the record.

Whenever async business rule runs it create a scheduler for it in background and based on the availability of the nodes in servicenow it will execute.

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

Thanks,

Shrutika Surwade.

Hi Shilpi,

Both the business rules have their own purposes

after -> works when record is actually inserted/updated/deleted in the database

mostly used to update or insert record into some other table once insert/update/delete happens on current record

example: close RITM when last Catalog Task is closed

async -> mostly used to trigger API call from scoped app such as outbound SOAP/REST

mostly used when user need not wait till the current transaction happens and doesn't require the result immediately

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks

HI

async
-When the scheduler runs the scheduled job created from the business rule.
The system creates a scheduled job from the business rule

after
-After the user submits the form and after any action is taken on the record in the database.

Thanks and regards
